1 TA SIN MIM. طسم
2 These are the verses of the perspicuous Book. تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ
3 You may perhaps wear out your heart because they do not come to belief. لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
4 We could send down from the heavens a sign to them if We pleased, before which their heads would remain bowed. إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّن السَّمَاء آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ
5 Never does a new reminder come to them from Ar-Rahman but they turn away from it. وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
6 Surely they have done with denying; soon will come to them the news of what they were laughing at. فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَاء مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُون
7 Do they not see the earth, how We grow all kinds of noble things upon it? أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
8 Verily there are signs in this; yet many of them do not believe. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
9 Your Lord is surely mighty and merciful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
10 When your Lord called upon Moses: "Go to the wicked people, وَإِذْ نَادَى رَبُّكَ مُوسَى أَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
11 The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear and take heed?" قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
12 : He said: "O Lord, I fear that they will deny me. قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
13 My heart is constrained, my tongue falters, so delegate Aaron; وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى هَارُونَ
14 And they have a charge (of murder) against me. So I fear that they will kill me." وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
15 (It was) said: "By no means. Go with My signs, both of you. I am verily with you and I hear. قَالَ كَلَّا فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ
16 Go to the Pharaoh and tell him: 'We bring a message from the Lord of all the worlds فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَا إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
17 That you should send the children of Israel with us.' أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
18 (The Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up as a child? And you lived a number of years of your life with us. قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
19 And you commited what you did, and you are ungrateful!" وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
20 (Moses) replied: "I did do that and I was in the wrong, قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ
21 So I ran away from you out of fear. But my Lord has given me wisdom, and made me an apostle. فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
22 But the favour you oblige me with is that you have enslaved the children of Israel." وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
23 The Pharaoh asked: "And what is the Lord of all the worlds?" قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
24 (Moses) said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you can believe." قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
25 (The Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you hear?" قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
26 (Moses continued): "Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers before you." قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
27 (The Pharaoh) said (to his nobles): "Your apostle who has been sent to you, is certainly mad." قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ
28 (Moses) said: "The Lord of the East and the Lord of the West and all that lies between them, if you have sense." قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
29 (The Pharaoh) said: "If you took another god apart from me I will have you incarcerated." قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُونِينَ
30 (Moses) said: "Even though I have brought to you something convincing?" قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُّبِينٍ
31 (The Pharaoh) said: "Then bring it, if you speak the truth." قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
32 So (Moses) cast his staff, and lo, it turned into a living serpent. فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
33 And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it looked white to the beholders. وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاء لِلنَّاظِرِينَ
34 The Pharaoh said to the chiefs around him: "He is certainly a clever magician. قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
35 He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic. So, what do you bid?" يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
36 They said: "Put him and his brother off awhile, and send summoners to the cities to gather قَالُوا أَرْجِهِ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
37 And bring the ablest magicians to you." يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
38 So the magicians were assembled at a stated time and place on an appointed day. فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
39 And the people were also asked to assemble. وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
40 (They said): "We may haply follow the magicians if they are victorious." لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
41 When the magicians arrived, they said to the Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we are victorious?" -- فَلَمَّا جَاء السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
42 "Yes," he replied. "You 'will be among the honoured." قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
43 Moses said to them: "Cast what you have to cast." قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
44 So they cast their ropes and rods, and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh, we shall be victorious." فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ
45 Then Moses threw down his staff, and lo, it swallowed up their conjurations. فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
46 Then the magicians fell prostrating in adoration, فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
47 And said: "We (affirm and) believe in the Lord of all the worlds, قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
48 The Lord of Moses and Aaron." رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ
49 Said (the Pharaoh): "You have come to believe in him before I gave you leave. He is surely your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon come to know: I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, and have every one of you crucified." قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
50 They said: "There will be no harm. We shall return to our Lord. قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
51 We certainly hope our Lord will forgive our sins as we are the first to believe." إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
52 We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued." وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
53 Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities, فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
54 (Proclaiming): "Surely they are a small band (of fugitives). إِنَّ هَؤُلَاء لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
55 They are always harassing us. وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ
56 But we are a fully accounted army." وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ
57 So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water, فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
58 And treasures and agreeable mansions. وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
59 Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them. كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
60 But they pursued them at sunrise. فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
61 When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken." فَلَمَّا تَرَاءى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَى إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
62 Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way." قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
63 We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted, and every parting was like a lofty mountain. فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَ فَانفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيمِ
64 Then We brought the others to that place. وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْآخَرِينَ
65 We delivered Moses and every one with him, وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَى وَمَن مَّعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
66 And We drowned the others. ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
67 Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
68 Indeed your Lord is mighty and merciful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
69 Relate the news of Abraham to them. وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
70 When he asked his father and his people: "What do you worship?" إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
71 They replied: "We worship idols and are devoted to them." قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ
72 (Abraham) asked: "Do they hear when you call them? قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
73 Or do they benefit you, or do you harm?" أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ
74 They said: "No. But we found our fathers doing so." قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءنَا كَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
75 He said: "Have you considered what you have been worshipping, قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
76 You and your fathers? أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ
77 Yet they are my enemies except the Lord of all the worlds فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
78 Who created me and showed me the way, الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ
79 Who gives me food and drink, وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ
80 And heals me when I am sick, وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
81 Who will make me die, then give me life again, وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ
82 And who, I hope, will condone my faults on the Day of Judgement. وَالَّذِي أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
83 O Lord, give me wisdom and admit me among the righteous, رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ
84 And uphold my name with posterity, وَاجْعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ
85 And put me among the inheritors of Paradise. وَاجْعَلْنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ
86 Forgive me and my father: He was surely among those who went astray. وَاغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ
87 And do not disgrace me on the day when they are raised from the graves, وَلَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ
88 The day when neither wealth nor children will be of any avail يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ
89 But to him who comes to God with a tranquil heart." إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
90 Paradise will be brought near those who take heed for themselves and follow the straight path; وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
91 And Hell made visible to those who had gone astray. وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ
92 They will be asked: "Where are those you worshipped وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
93 Other than God? Can they save you or even save themselves?" مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ
94 They will then be thrown into Hell with those who had gone astray فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوُونَ
95 Together with the hordes of Iblis. وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ
96 Disputing among themselves they will say: قَالُوا وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ
97 "By God, we were plainly in error تَاللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ
98 In equating you with the Lord of all the worlds; إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
99 No one but the sinners led us astray. وَمَا أَضَلَّنَا إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ
100 Now we have none to intercede for us, فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَافِعِينَ
101 Nor any sincere friend. وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ
102 If only we could return and be among the believers!" فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
103 Verily there is a sign in this, but many of them do not believe. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
104 Verily your Lord is mighty and merciful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
105 The people of Noah accused the apostles of lies. كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
106 When their brother Noah said to them: "Will you not take heed? إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
107 I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you. إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
108 So be fearful of God and listen to me. فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
109 I ask no recompense of you for it. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds. وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
110 So fear God and follow me." فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
111 They said: "Should we place our trust in you when only the condemned follow you?" قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الْأَرْذَلُونَ
112 He said: "It is not for me to know what they were doing. قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِي بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
113 It is for my Lord to bring them to book, if you can understand. إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّي لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ
114 I am certainly not one to drive away the believers. وَمَا أَنَا بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
115 I am only a plain admonisher." إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
116 They said: "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will be stoned to death." قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا نُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمَرْجُومِينَ
117 He prayed: "O Lord, verily my people accuse me of lies. قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي كَذَّبُونِ
118 So adjudge between me and them conclusively, and save me and the believers who are with me." فَافْتَحْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِي مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
119 So We delivered him and those with him in the loaded ark, فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ
120 And drowned the rest of them. ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبَاقِينَ
121 Verily there is a sign in this, yet many of them do not believe. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
122 But surely your Lord is mighty and merciful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
123 The people of 'Ad accused the messengers of lies. كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
124 When their brother Hud said to them: "Will you not take heed? إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
125 I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you. إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
126 So fear God and listen to me. فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
127 I ask no recompense of you for it. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds. وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
128 You construct monuments on every hill in vain, أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ آيَةً تَعْبَثُونَ
129 Erect palaces (thinking) that you will live for ever, وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ
130 And whenever you apply force become tyrannical. وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ
131 So be fearful of God and follow me. فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
132 Fear Him who has bestowed on you what you know, وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ
133 Gave you increase of cattle and sons, أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَامٍ وَبَنِينَ
134 And orchards and springs. وَجَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
135 I fear the punishment of a terrible day for you. إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
136 They said: "It is the same to us if you warn us or do not warn. قَالُوا سَوَاء عَلَيْنَا أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ الْوَاعِظِينَ
137 This is just a habit of antiquated people. إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
138 We are not going to be damned." وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ
139 Then they accused him of lies; so We annihilated them. Verily there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe. فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
140 Yet surely your Lord is mighty and merciful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
141 The Thamud accused the messengers of lies. كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
142 When their brother Saleh said to them: "Will you not take heed?" إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَالِحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
143 I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you. إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
144 So fear God and follow me. فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
145 I do not ask any recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds. وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
146 (Do you think) you will be left secure here أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِي مَا هَاهُنَا آمِنِينَ
147 In these gardens and these springs, فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
148 The fields of corn and date-palm trees with soft and tender spathes, وَزُرُوعٍ وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ
149 And dwellings hewed out of mountains ingeniously? وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَارِهِينَ
150 So be mindful of God and listen to me. فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
151 Do not follow those who are extravagant, وَلَا تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
152 Who corrupt the land and do not reform it." الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ
153 They said: "Surely you are deluded. قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ
154 You are nothing but a man like us. Bring us a token if you speak the truth." مَا أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِآيَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
155 (Saleh) said: "Here is a she-camel. She has a right of drinking water, and you have a right of drinking it on appointed turns. قَالَ هَذِهِ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
156 Do not treat her unkindly or the punishment of a grievous day will fall on you." وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
157 But they hamstrung her; and on the morrow were repentant, فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ
158 For they were seized by the torment. Verily there was a sign in this, but most of them did not believe. فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
159 Yet verily your Lord is mighty and merciful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
160 The people of Lot accused the messengers of lies. كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
161 When their brother Lot said to them: "Will you not take heed? إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
162 I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you. إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
163 So fear God and listen to me. فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
164 I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds. وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
165 Why do you go for males unlike all other creatures أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
166 Leaving the consorts your Lord has made for you? But you are a people who exceed the bounds." وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ
167 They said: "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will be expelled (from the city)." قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِينَ
168 (Lot) said: "I am disgusted with your actions," قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ الْقَالِينَ
169 (And prayed:) "O Lord, save me and my family from what they do." رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ
170 So We saved him and his whole family فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
171 Except one old woman who remained behind. إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ
172 Then We destroyed the rest of them, ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
173 And rained on them a shower (of Stones). How terrible was the rain (that fell) on those who had been warned! وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا فَسَاء مَطَرُ الْمُنذَرِينَ
174 Verily in this was a sign, but most of them do not believe. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
175 Yet surely your Lord is mighty and powerful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
176 The people of the Wood too called the messengers liars. كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
177 When Shu'aib said to them: "Will you not take heed? إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
178 I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you. إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
179 So fear God and follow me. فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
180 I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds. وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
181 Give full measure and do not cheat; أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ
182 Weigh on an even balance. وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ
183 And do not withhold from people what belongs to them, and do not corrupt the land; وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ
184 And fear Him who created you and all the earlier people." وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ
185 They said: "Surely you are deluded. قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ
186 You are nothing but a man like us, and we think you are a liar. وَمَا أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ
187 But in case you are speaking the truth, then make a segment of the sky to fall upon us." فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاء إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
188 (Shu'aib) said: "My Lord knows well what you are doing." قَالَ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
189 But they denied him, and We seized them with the torment of the Day of Shadowing (when the cloud had rained down fire). It was indeed the torment of a terrible day! فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
190 Verily in this was a sign, but most of them do not believe. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
191 Yet verily your Lord is mighty and merciful. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
192 And this (Qur'an) is a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds, وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
193 Which the trusted spirit descended with نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ
194 To (communicate) to your heart that you may be a warner عَلَى قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ
195 In eloquent Arabic. بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ
196 This is (indicated) in the Books of earlier people. وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الْأَوَّلِينَ
197 Was it not a proof for them that the learned men of Israel knew about this? أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ آيَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاء بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
198 Had We revealed it to a man of obscure tongue وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ
199 And he had recited it to them, and they had not believed (it would have been different). فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ
200 Thus do We cause (unbelief) to enter the hearts of sinners. كَذَلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
201 They will not believe it until they behold the painful punishment. لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
202 It will come upon them unawares, and they will not comprehend it. فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
203 Then will they say: "Can we be given respite?" فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
204 Do they wish Us then to hasten the punishment? أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
205 Just think: If We let them enjoy (the good things of life) for a few years more, أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ
206 And then what they were promised comes upon them, ثُمَّ جَاءهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
207 Of what avail shall their enjoyment be to them? مَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ
208 Never have We destroyed a habitation till We had sent admonishers to them وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
209 To warn. For We are never unjust. ذِكْرَى وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
210 The devils did not bring it down: وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ
211 They are not worthy of it, nor have they power. وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
212 They have been precluded from hearing it. إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ
213 So call on no other god but God, lest you are condemned to torment; فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ
214 And warn your near relations, وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ
215 And take those believers under your wing who follow you. وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
216 If they do not obey you, tell them: "I am not responsible for what you do." فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
217 Have trust in the Mighty, the Merciful, وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ
218 Who watches you when you get up, الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
219 And your movements among those who bow in homage to God. وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ
220 He is all-hearing and all-knowing. إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
221 Should I tell you on whom the devils descend? هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَى مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ
222 They come down to every mendacious sinner, تَنَزَّلُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
223 Who listens to you (for spreading rumours); but most of them are liars. يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ
224 As for the poets, only those who go astray follow them. وَالشُّعَرَاء يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ
225 Have you not seen that they wander distract in every valley, أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
226 And they say what they do not do, وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
227 Except those who believe and do the right, and remember God a great deal, who retaliate only when they have been wronged. Yet the oppressors will now come to know through what reversals they will be overthrown! إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
